MA

If I can vote on my own coin: I obviously think it is MA at least, because I bought it.

However, the pink in the center of the obverse, and that weird hook in the toning behind his head has always made me think it has been messed with.

 

NT

 

Looks exactly like it should. NT

 

I’m NT also. I have a few coppers this same pattern and color.

Nice coin!

 

NT

 

I like it, nice coin wouldn't have any problems buying it. MA.

 

I like it as NT.

 

NT MA. If a coin doctor did this, their artistic restraint is commendable.

 

NT/MA

 

I'm NT with the Lincoln Cent as well. I really like it.

Next up is this Kennedy (not mine):

 

1964 Kennedies were stored in a wide range of holders. That gives them a wider than usual range of natural toning patterns and colors. While you would normally associate that splotchy appearance with AT, in this case I think it was put in an aftermarket holder and stored improperly. The toning is NT, but the splotchiness is distinctly unattractive in my opinion.

That being said, those neon pink/green/yellow shades are wildly popular. I'll bet this coin sold for a ridiculous amount.

 

I think this coin is AT/QT.

I agree with everything Jason said, but don’t think that improper storage should save it, rather the improper storage is what should make it a problem coin.

 

So you're saying it is environmentally damaged? I wouldn't go that far, it looks to be ok surface-wise.

 

No, I’m saying that the improper storage is responsible for the questionable color. And the AT/QT is what makes it a problem coin.

 

I'm NT on the 1964 Half.

 

AT/QC

 

I think it's NT, due to being stored in some weird holder, but not gassed or chemically treated.
